Is it common for someone to have 5 wisdom teeth instead of the normal 4??
Question: I saw a dentist,she told me I have 4 wisdom teeth and 1 extra wisdom tooth. Is this common? I know people have 4 wisdom teeth.
She recommended that I have to remove it and suggested I should also consider removing the other 4.
I was just what leads to having 5 wisdom teeth...
Answers: It is possible to have more than four wisdom teeth. I had extra set on bottom pushing the first set(and other teeth) forward!..
Dentist sent me to have one set surgically removed!
I would not say it falls under common ,
but many people have extra permanent teeth,
and even more are missing permanent teeth,
It is a genetic issue. To be honest, it's better to have
an extra tooth as that can be remedied via extracttion.
A missing tooth can be much more complicated. Usually,
the person who is missing a permanent tooth will retain
the baby tooth for much longer, but most times, this baby
tooth will eventually fall out, leaving the patient with
the options of needing a bridge or implant.
It's not a wisdom tooth is called a suppernummary tooth. It happens every now and then no big deal just get it removed. Good Luck
It is very common for people to have 5 or more wisdom teeth. You shouldn't be worried about it, I see it all the time.
it is know as a supernumerary tooth.though its not that common, it still does occur in a small percentage of people.these extra teeth can erupt anywhere whether it be an extra wisdom tooth like yours, or an extra premolar...
That, my friend, is what is known as a mutation. Seriously. Like a 3rd nipple, or a 6th finger. Count yourself as special!
i had 6. it means you are smarter than anyone else ;). go to a biologic dentist so you don't get a cavitation later.
Reappearance of the Wisdom Teeth
On rare occasions, a patient may experience the development of extra teeth, referred to as supernumerary teeth. The exact occurrence of supernumerary teeth is not certain, but researchers estimate the condition occurs in less than four percent of the population. Most of the time, the extra teeth are located in the upper jaw. Men seem to be affected more often than women. In many cases, the tendency for supernumerary teeth runs in families.
Extra wisdom teeth are often smaller than normal third molars and may be misshapen and poorly aligned. Dental experts say the teeth are present at the time the original wisdom teeth are removed, but may not be easily accessible. So the dentist or oral surgeon will wait until the extra teeth move into position before deciding to remove them.
EXTRACTIONS
Extractions have to be done well. Normally they pull a tooth out, stick a piece of gauze in there and say bite on it. After the tooth is removed, the socket has to be completely cleaned so that complete healing can occur. If tissue such as torn pieces of ligaments or periosteum is left in the socket and covers the bone, the bone will tend to heal over the top, leaving a hole in the bone, and new bone cannot form. This hole can persist for the rest of the patient's life. It is a chronic infection that is called an alveolar cavitational osteopathosis or cavitation. This means that there is an infected cavity in the bone. These bone infections are only now being seriously researched. If they are fairly easy to prevent by proper socket cleaning, why is this not being done? But many if not most dentists have never heard of cavitations.
CAVITATIONS
A cavitation is an unhealed hole in the jawbone caused by an extracted tooth [or a root canal or an injury to a tooth]. Since wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth, most cavitations are found in the wisdom tooth sites. Please see the graphic and photo below to get a glimpse of what may be in your mouth and the effects it is having. The photo and diagram demonstrate the destructive and pathologic consequence of a routine tooth extraction. Dentists are taught in dental school that once they pull a tooth, the patient's body heals the resulting hole in the jawbone. However, approximately 95% of all tooth extractions result in a pathologic defect called a cavitation. The tooth is attached to the jawbone by a periodontal ligament which is comprised of jillions of microscopic fibers. One end of each fiber is attached to the jawbone and the other end of the fiber is attached to the tooth root. When a tooth is extracted, the fibers break midway between the root and the bone. This leaves the socket (the area where the root was anchored in the bone) coated with periodontal ligament fibers.
There are specialized cells in the bone called osteoblasts. Osteoblasts make new bone. The word osteoblast means bone former. They are active during growth and maintenance. However, the periodontal ligament prevents the osteoblasts from filling in the tooth socket with bone since the periodontal ligament fibers lining the socket act as a barrier beyond which the osteoblasts cannot form bone. In other words, an osteoblast sees a tooth when it sees periodontal ligament fibers. Since there are billions of bacteria in the mouth, they easily get into the open tooth socket. Since the bone is unable to fill in the defect of the socket, the newly formed cavitation is now infected. Since there is no blood supply to the cavitation it is called ischemic or avascular (without a blood supply). This results in necrosis (tissue death). Hence we call a cavitation an unhealed, chronically infected, avascular, necrotic hole in the bone. The defect acts to an acupuncture meridian the same way a dead tooth (or root canal tooth) acts. It causes an interference field on the meridian which can impair the function and health of other tissues, organs and structures on the meridian. Significantly, the bacteria in the cavitation also produce the same deadly toxins that are produced by the bacteria in root canals (see Root Canals). These toxins are thio-ethers (most toxic organic substance known to man), thio-ethanols, and mercaptans. They have been found in the tumors in women with breast cancer.
